[mythtv-users] MythTV and ISOs?

[Andrew Palm]

True, but the idea behind ISOs is that if you want to copy the movie to a
DVD, its a matter of just burning it straight to DVD and your done.

Also keep some of the nicer things like menus etc.

But its a idea to look at.

The script just posted looks to do what they require.
